If you double the year you bought your Morgan and then subtract the year of your birth, you will have the year in which you have owned your car for half your lifetime. It occurs for me in 12 years time.

Or to simplify the equation a bit - double your age when you bought a Morgan.

Mine was a 50th birthday present to myself so I'll be 100 when I've had it half my life.

Based on present usage it will have close to 300,000 miles on the clock in 2072
I know BMW engines last well, but not that well!

Mind you, cars like ours will probably be restricted, if petrol is still available.
